Heeps made a couple of cracking passes. Chased the dirt and raced. Hume, a 2 point reserve with only one season's experience behind him had no problems whatsoever, neither did BWD. Very easy to use the track as an excuse for a pathetic lack of effort.

Agree with a lot of the comments on here. An awful lot of Panthers fans made the effort to support their team tonight, and they were badly let down by the majority of their team. They deserve an apology.

We've got riders that go well at the Showground, but it's so difficult winning anywhere away from home in this sport.

Starke now withdrawn. BWD a busy boy! We knew Hume was a steal he's a good lad

What's wrong with Lambert?? Not even trying! Clearly doesn't fancy it whatsoever

Was quicker than Hume, but whenever he got close he eased off the gas and didn't even attempt a pass..

Masters would do nicely IF King wasn't fit. Actually I wouldn't be unhappy with Steve Worrall either. He's again started the season in fine form for Newcastle. Have yet to see anything on social media from the club regarding King's fitness. Must be a doubt though with him withdrawing from his guest booking with Poole yesterday. I'm sure the Panthers fans don't care though! Don't blame them either. Got to be ruthless and take advantage of any weaknesses in the opposition to get points on the board. I'd be exactly the same.

Well if he's not fully fit I'd rather not gamble and get a guest in. King is pretty dominant at both Foxhall AND the Showground so it would obviously be a blow. But I hope it's not a case of "I'll give it a go" which could backfire massively. We rely heavily on both King and Schlein hitting double figures which they'll do more often than not, but when they don't we'll see results like we had at Sheffield on Thursday.

I really wouldn't bother he's clearly a clueless berk who enjoys trolling. 8 points between King and Schlein? Don't think we'll see that again this year! Not overly concerned we're far better than that. Well done Sheffield.

Agree with you Baldy. Let's not forget that Newman's average was skewed a little by having spells at #1 for Plymouth. Just shows how strong we look on paper! Newman was #1 for Plymouth at times but he's 4th heatleader for us.. I really like Sarj as well and thought he done a super job for us last year. In an ideal world I'd include both.

Dont worry Baldy if they can't manage it we'll do it ourselves over the Easter weekend LOL

Good luck Redcar.

Mark Riss replacing Branford for Sheffield. Looks a good replacement to me?

Looking forward to some more Saturday evening Speedway on the Heath. Hopefully another bumper Saturday night crowd and a good atmosphere.

You may have lost ya hair Baldy but certainly not your memory!

Expected a bigger win for the Diamonds so a good effort from Worky. Nicely poised

Exactly. Not sure what the "dished out but can't take it" comment was all about, I was blatantly engaging in a bit of light hearted banter hence the smillie, but hey ho!

Lighten up chaps eh? Some people need to take note of smillies and not take things so seriously.

Eh? LOL

I see you've won the fight with your bald counterparts at Scunny today for that comb!

That's why just about everyone has tipped them for the bottom, poor side. Superb race track, but you can't keep relying on that alone to keep people coming through the gate. It's a sport at the end of the day and supporters want to see their team win especially at home.

King is one of the few that does go well here. He'll get comfortably more than 8..

I agree with you Screm. On paper, and with the greatest of respect, we are a stronger team and should be running you very close on the night. But as I've said, this is one fixture where I've tipped us to struggle as for whatever reason, a fair few of our riders really don't go well here. I fancy us to pick up results at most places this year, but not this one.

Should be targeting a win here despite the big first leg lead. Will be an indication of how close we are to league points when we return.

Interestingly the club website has updated King's track record last night on the club info page, but the track length remains 285 meters.
